CUbroadcast Studio Lounge interviews at
CUES Symposium
​February 9-13, 2020, Kohala Coast, Hawaii ...

Our CUbroadcast Studio Lounge headed to the big island of Hawaii to cover CUES Symposium -- a unique gathering of credit union CEOs and Board Chairs learning to enhance their working relationship to keep their shops running at peak performance. At the conference, we interviewed expert presenters, attendees, vendors, and, of course, our hosts from CUES -- as well as our esteemed sponsors from CUNA Mutual Group and DDJ Myers.

A special thank you, again, to our stellar Studio Lounge sponsors CUNA Mutual Group and DDJ Myers for supporting our coverage and CUES for hosting another great gathering. As a thank you, be sure to check them out when you get a chance.

​And a tradition we are started last year: For every Studio Lounge interview we conduct, we will donate $10 to Credit Unions for Kids to help Children's Miracle Network Hospitals nationwide. So sign up to chat -- the kids win, too!
